I finished knitting the Thanksgiving scarf, and while I ponder the terrors of trying to graft 1×1 ribbing to turn it into a cowl, I moved on to a small sewing project that was less intimidating.
I recently bought a small square foot stool to go with my new bedroom chair. It didn’t match, but it was inexpensive, which was my main criteria. I need to be able to put my feet up as I sit reading and knitting.
I rummaged through the box of upholstery scraps I used to make the family room pouf and made a simple patchwork slipcover.
I then ransacked the garage in a futile search for my staple gun before giving up and buying a new one. Maybe it was left behind in the move? Did I lend it to my sister?
My corner folding and stapling could use some work, but overall it was a success. I just need to get some dark brown spray paint for the legs.
It is kid and dog approved anyway.
Great looking footstool!

So cool. I have a chair I’d like to do something like this with.

That’s ambitious! I have a slipper chair that I keep thinking about making a slip cover for – no arms so not too difficult. I hadn’t thought about the possibility of doing it with patchwork.
